help with dynamic rename (and run) of m-file

I have two self contained files, one i need to call several times from a script. It is named deck.m and takes the form x=ABC(loads of input arguments). Associated with it is a p-file, ABC.p.

I simply call it in the script as below and things work fine.

script

deck

script

deck

Unfortunately the deck name often changes. Is there a dynamic way of renaming (and running) it in the script?

Something like:

name = 'deck' (thinks its a variable!) = deck (attempt to execute script as a function!)

script

name

script

name.

No luck so far :(

Are you doing this in ThingSpeak? I dont think you can save files in ThingSpeak, so I suspect not. But I see you added the tag "ThingSpeak" to this post

MATLAB, sorry i must have forgot to indicate this

[Walter Roberson]

is deck a script or a function with no parameters?

If it is a script see run()

If it is a function then create a function handle and invoke the handle each time

[Brantosaurus]

It looks like a function which resides in the p-file. All i can see in the deck are its input arguments.

Your suggestion for treating it as a script works though, so i am happy with that.

Thank you once again.
